MS-DEFCON 2: Windows 11 21H2 nears end of life

ISSUE 20.36.1 • 2023-09-07

By Susan Bradley

On October 10, 2023, the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 21H2 will no longer be supported by Microsoft.

Anticipating next week’s Patch Tuesday, I’m raising the MS-DEFCON level to 2. When (and if) the dust settles, we’ll enter another period of safe patching toward the end of the month. I’ll say more then, but you should prepare.

Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (20.36.1, 2023-09-07).
